Make & Take Recipes #3 ~ Weird Orzo Salad

For hot summer camping, I love a cold watermelon slice, and this salad, chilled. You can make this in camp as well, but I usually have my burners going on my main and maybe a side dish. So salads I tend to just assemble, or bring. This is a favorite summer salad that gets raves wherever I serve it - a sweet pasta salad.

I usually make this with a mix of seedless green and red grapes, because the contrasting colors add interest, but it can be made with just one kind or the other, as you see pictured here with the red. I use the white parts and the lightest greens of the green onions. Save the dark greens for topping a baked potato or another hot dish for a chive-like vibe.
